Scary. Governments with more money than corporations!

Top 22 in 2000 were governments! Fuck that!

hm, not sure if you're joking, but when such rankings were published first, most people said it's scary that corporations are richer than governments

Yes, I am aware and no I'm not joking. Why the fuck would I want a huge government?

* Note. Though GDP is not the size of the government.

You shouldn't be the least bit surprised by that Colin, you're a smart guy..

:2 cents:

Hey, Dennis. What's going on bro? :-)

Not surprised. This same list has been posted here a few times over the years. Just taking the opposite side of "most people said it's scary that corporations are richer than governments".

As you so nicely put it.. "Fuck that!"..

Having quite enough of the government in my bedroom, television, radio, wallet, etc.. We're #1 alright... :1orglaugh

Interesting stats and interesting reaction. It's no surprise to me that governments are the top richest "corporations". They make "profits" from taxing people. And the same dumb people vote them in. Why would you be surprised? :1orglaugh

Q. A.

World Development Report 2000.


lots changed

Colin, come on, don't tell me you couldn't spot a RHETORICAL question in there? :winkwink:

Yeah, Walmart passed GM

WMT. $294 billion
GM. $191 billion

That's thing about the internet. No voice inflection to assist and I'm immune to smilies.

Gee, you could've fooled me. :)

why isn't MSFT on the list, aren't they around $360 Billion?
